So for a good chunk of that movie, James Bond isn't 007.
Don't remember anyone moaning about that.
I always understood many worked for Spectre without knowing it, either as freelance agents (Dimitrios) or goons being paid by a high or middle ranking villain not knowing or caring who ultimately signs the paychecks.
I agree in part, but Fleming also said he had dark hair, resembled Hoagy Carmichael and had a scar down his cheek and the closest actor to that description was Dalton. This could quite easily get into ‘James Blonde’-gate again if we’re not careful. The origin of the actor doesn’t matter to me so long as HE is a great actor committed to bringing the spirit of Fleming’s character to the screen.
Oh, but I am in favour of a more realist depiction of Bond, hair and all. That being said, let's not say that ethnicity or gender and hair colour are the very same thing, ok? That would only serve the righteous brigade. And this discussion is getting stale by the minute. James bond is a white man. Destroying the character characterisation because of political and racial issues is, amongst other things, racist.
Moving on please. I used to love this "new" filming thread ;)
I hear Italy is nice this time of year! ;)
Yes, I wonder when we'll get some Matera stuff? ;)
Very well said.
Totally agree +1
I think the fact Vesper made the Carmichael comparison as well as Gala Brandt in Moonraker isn’t purely coincidence. I’m pretty sure that’s how Fleming wanted us to envisage him...
That aside I agree with @Univex let’s get back to the fun stuff which is speculating on B25 and apologies for any offence caused. Anyone see the new pic on ‘whatsdanielwearing’ on Instagram? Craig looks great signing the car...really excited to see B25 more than ever now.
Another C thing? Yeah, I hope not. That would be weak.
Wouldn’t put it past P&W but I hope SZB/PWB nipped that one in the bud. Sounds like Miranda Frost all over again.
I'll be able to answer this a lot better once Bond 25 comes out. Right now, it's something I couldn't care less about.
But back to your other point: Yes, Craig's looking good signing that car.
Nicola Thorp was on set at Pinewood Studios with Lashana in June 2019
This feels the closest to confirmation of the Daily Mail's story currently. I await what MI6-HQ and Rodrigo Perez have to say about this.
@talos7 got you thinking though, haven't I...
Too dark for you?
I knew many of you would have a fit over this news. By the way, many were practically laughing at the idea of Harris' Moneypenny being a field agent some seven years ago, and now you see her as 007 more than Lynch? By the way, Lynch's character will only be the new 007 in the movie's first half. Bond will resume the position after a bad incident.
Ah, I think we’ve been at cross purposes somewhat and glad to have cleared it up. I know skin colour and hair colour aren’t the same AT ALL in terms of scale, however it all got me wondering; if someone who isn’t Caucasian came along and redefined the role in the way Craig has, the issue of his skin colour could/would/should become as moot a point as whether his hair is dark (like the books) or blonde (like DC.) This is all speculative and personal opinion anyway and I’m not asking anyone to agree with me. For the record I’d like him to look faithful to Fleming’s vision, but I try and stay open minded too.
Not looking to fall out with anyone here I’d just like to get psyched up about B25. Anyone got any speculation on when we might hear/see anything re: Malek?!
As anticipated!
What are you talking about?
Sounds great! How do you know this?!
I think she looks great in the photo (from the teaser) that @Pierce2Daniel posted earlier.
